Greetings, I'm running fio-3.26 in client-server mode. I have a job file that takes size from a shell variable ${FILESIZE}. If I run the following command from the client (control) node, the shell variable isn't passed to the servers. On each server in fiohosts.list the /tmp/myjob.fio contains a config line size=${FILESIZE} FILESIZE=100G fio --client=fiohosts.list --remote-config=/tmp/myjob.fio If I switch from using remote config files to a local config file the shell variable is honored but the execution of the benchmark is serial where each host in fiohosts.list runs singularly and in sequence as opposed to concurrently on each server in fiohosts.list. FILESIZE=100G fio --client=fiohosts.list /tmp/myjob.fio End goal being concurrent benchmark operations on the same network share file from all clients in fiohosts.list Any pointers are appreciated, --Jeff
